Okay, so I pulled my 403 and dropped in my rebuilt 400.
Everything hooked to the motor is brand new
I hooked the ground from the body under the car to the bell housing
I hooked the ground from the back of the passenger head to the firewall
I hooked the ground from the battery to the engine
I replaced the engine wiring harness cause the 403 is not the same as the 400.
I replaced it just fine, I hooked up the wire to the starter, the pink wire up to the distributor, I hooked up all the sensor wires, to the alternator, etc...
I have voltage at the battery.
When I check the voltage at the starter, the multimeter jumps readings as if there isn't a ground to the starter!
Now the engine was painted....
?? Am I not receiving a good connection from where the starter touches the engine??
What can I spray up in there to "eat" away the paint that IS there so I can get a good contact?
Does anyone else think it's the paint on the engine where the starter touches?
BTW, I'm not very technical when it comes to the multimeter...... Basic stuff is all I can do... No idea how to really use it to check for continuity or whatever through the lines.
Thanks
